An Aliquippa man was charged with various offenses after city police said he stole his girlfriend’s car and wrecked it into a home’s front porch Wednesday morning.

According to an Aliquippa police report, Michael Hunter, 19, of 1735 Tyler St., went to the 1836 Davidson St. residence of Erica Shumate and attacked her while she was asleep, pushing her face with his hands, around 2:20 p.m.

Police wrote that Hunter had left before officers arrived to take a report, but after they departed, Hunter returned, but couldn’t get back into Shumate’s house.

Instead, police wrote, Hunter took Shumate’s car and drove away. The car hit another in the 1600 block of Davidson Street, then Shumate’s car hit the front porch of the residence of Nancy Pierce, 1614 Davidson St.

Hunter fled the accident scene, police wrote. He was charged with simple assault, theft, reckless endangerment, and leaving the scene of an accident.
